Canadian PM Justin Trudeau faced backlash during a visit to a Toronto mosque over his response to the Israel-Hamas conflict. A video showed some in the mosque urging a facilitator not to let Trudeau speak. Protesters outside the mosque also pushed for Trudeau to advocate for a ceasefire. The backlash comes as Trudeau's caucus is divided on the conflict, with some Liberal MPs signing a letter demanding Canada call for an immediate ceasefire and uphold international law protecting civilians. Tensions heightened after Hamas killed 1,400 Israelis in an October 7 attack. The viral video depicts the anger Trudeau is facing from some in Canada's Muslim community over his handling of the crisis.
